They had to have realized when they posted that image of the ad how sexually suggestive it is right? it literally took my brain a millisecond to think a million different sex thoughts about this image

    She’s literally pointing two fingers at her own vagina! This ad is sexual and misleading

    “She” could be a generic model AI’d or Photoshopped into a church she has never seen or even been near to. That’s how advertizing works.

    We had a woman raising a stink because her pictures were used in a large national campaign about incontinence.

    Apart from that hand placement which could be nothing, these types of ads use too many pretty young ladies for it not to be a choice. Plus “Missionaries in your area”? Come on, there’s no way a whole PR team could miss that!

      They’re Mormons.

      That, and they use “area” as a term internally to refer to how they organize ecclesiastical settlement hierarchy. The “Area 70” is basically the same as the local presiding archbishop of an archdiocese. (Not to be confused with the bishop of a Mormon ward, who’s about the same on the hierarchy as the priest of a local parish).

    No I honestly can’t see a single reason why it would be sexually suggestive. The clothing is modest by modern standards, you can’t see any real definition of the shape of her body under her shirt and nothing about the face, the pose or the background says anything sexual to me at all. Honestly if you see this image as sexual I’m afraid that you think every picture of a young attractive woman is sexual.

      I thought this post was going to be about the “missionaries in your area”, as a reference to the “hot singles in your area” ads

        That did not even occur to me. Probably because you can’t even tell where her raspberry dungeon is supposed to be located. I see a torso on top of a brown load bearing column.

          Do you think the raspberry dungeon could be around her neck or something? Pretty sure its not difficult to approximate for most people unless this is somehow another black and blue dress versus white and gold dress situation

    I don’t blame you, I had the exact same thought. They look so dam soft and squishy, and that green colour is such a good pairing with the polished wood. I’d sit on those pews all day, goddamn.

    As we all know, sexual thoughts are UNNATURAL and IMMORAL and YOU are the ONLY one having this PROBLEM. PENISES and BOOBLES and VAGINAS exist only to be CUT OFF so you can be CLOSER WITH CHRIST

    WHY IS NOBODY LISTENING I USED CAPS /s

    Yeah that’s an attractive model used for an ad. If you don’t fantasize about them then the marketing department is monetarily screwed fucked. Product is irrelevant. Funny post tho
